Shortly after the Iceland trip, we were on road again. This time the destinations are: Paris,Luxembourg,Dusseldorf and Berlin. So first go to Paris-romantic place!
Arrived in Paris at about eight in the evening and try to figure out how to get away from this big and "drangers" airport! Lots of people there and lots of bags,suitcases.....It is a very busy airport,and the people in uniform was trying to keep control everything,unfornately he just spoke everything in French. Well,I think most of the people there do not speak french!
Found the way and took the shuttle bus to the big opera house of Paris. The area is quiet at night,not really like what I imagined- Paris do not sleep! Everywhere music and people.... Well,this area is pretty the opposite. Tired! We walked to the hotel,it was a very old building and have tiny stairs and elevator! Good anyway this is Pairs! We are in Paris now!
Inside the room was quite hot! no air conditioning! It is summer in Paris.
But weather was always every good for us,sun was shining all the time and we got burned a little bit.And trying to figure out what was the French people saying is also fun,even we asked everything in English. We went out on the street,along the Seine river,it was really beautiful! Well I could feel the romantic atmosphere around me!

Then we went to the famous Louvre museum,a huge one! One day is not enough to see all the things! The smile of the Mona Lisa, the mysterious Egypcian statues...we have to leave before it closed! Then walking on the big shopping street,mixed with different kinda people, it is a world place or you could see the world there!
Louvre museum
Dinner was quite good and we met a waiter who is from China,well chinese is everywhere!
Then the tour continued, we went to Versaille but only in the big garden with lots of foutains! The king himself to enjoy so big garden! From there we went to the Chinese street in Paris,it was just like little China in Paris. We try to eat in one of the Morrocan restaurant,but because today was the match for the World Cup-France to Italy,most of the restaurant was closed. We could just get some salad and steak. But it was fine. Well the result was that France did not win that match, otherwise we could see a really big celebration!
Days passed quick, the last day we were in Paris.We went to Noter Dame and Eiffel tower,Picasso museum. Stood in the sun for one hour then we could get on the Eiffel Tower. Good! It was really beautiful to see Paris from the Eiffel tower: The river,the buildings,the churches....everything is small but so elegant! This night we just simply ate some Pizza,but I have to use fork and knife to eat it, so I just ate half and gave up.

The last morning, we by accident went to a white church in Paris on the way to the Dali museum. It was on the moutain,and on the other side of the moutain is the Dali museum. In the afternoon we took the train from Paris to Luxembourg.

I have to say I love Paris! For her beauty,for her arts,for her culture....(maybe not for the French language)
